An African solution to an African problem - PA supporting (AMFA) Affordable Medicines for Africa

For many decades Africa has been the recipient of both public and private charity. While these efforts have been necessary, well intentioned and beneficial, the African continent, particularly sub-Saharan Africa's health, remains in a terrible condition. 

Affordable Medicines for Africa (AMFA) has been one of the leading voices presenting the case that it is time we help Africa to help itself by enabling the infrastructure necessary for sustainable solutions to its healthcare problems.

As a result, AMFA is spearheading an effort to secure public and private funding to enhance and expand the capacity for timely production and distribution of high quality, low cost essential medicines from and within Africa.

In support of this AMFA has requested technical support from PA Consulting Group. This article presents the key issues affecting this initiative, along with the framework for a pilot project designed to seed a rational and sustainable solution.
